Could this be because of the many officials and red tape that they had to clear? As a result the original design couldn't be executed? I'm just guessing because being in the design field and working with the state/govmt in my country, they always like to have a say in it and in the end the outcome is far from what one proposed originally. It's the usual "too many cooks spoil the broth". And in it's wake, design that is so-so and a few disgruntled designers.

Yes, may not be extraordinary design, but one of the main focuses was legacy… and that is why they're making a removable portion of the stadium. Most, if not all, previous "huge and amazing" stadiums for Olympics are always abandoned and never filled up again after the summer of the Games. The legacy design is to avoid that problem.

Where are they going to do with those 55,000 seats left?
Is not like they can loan them out or return to vendor.
